Boating Regulations
It is that time of year again. Please familiarize yourself with the boating
regulations. Patrol Boat Operators monitor the activities on the lake to
enhance safety on the water. A few reminders:
• Do:
o Travel in a counter clockwise direction
o Respect the “no Wake” zones, and
o If pulling a person or object, make sure there is a capable spotter.
• Do Not:
o Stand or sit on the sides or backs of a fast-moving boat
o Go fast after sunset
o Propel non-powered boats against traffic outside no wake zones
o Swim beyond the no wake buoys
2018 LHPOA Boat Sticker and lot number must be on your boat,
including those stored in the boat parking and on canoe racks. It is to
be placed anywhere from mid-point to stern of the boat/vessel
Safety
The kids are home from school. Please be extra careful on the roadways.
There are a lot people out and about walking, jogging, strolling babies, bike riding, etc. We always need to be conscious of driving too fast and paying attention to stop signs and pedestrians, but we need to be extra careful over the next several months. Drivers, please watch your speed and be careful of the pedestrians. Walkers, please walk facing the traffic so that you can see what is happening on the road.
Work Orders for Maintenance
If you notice something that needs repair, we want to know about it. The conditions around the community are reviewed on a regular basis, but we can still use your help when you see a potential problem. To deal with problems in a systematic way, we are using a work order system and ask that you use a work order to document your findings. You will find the work order form in the Frequently Used Forms section of the website or you may pick one up at the office.

Brush Drop-off
Brush drop-off dates for the remainder of the season are:
June 16 August 18
June 30 September 15
July 14 October 20
July 28 November 17
The time is 7:30 am to 1:45 pm. Don’t forget:
1. Limbs no larger the 3 inches in diameter
2. No grass clippings, no leaves, or garden cuttings (must be wood)
3. No lumber or plywood
4. No root clumps

NOTES FROM THE ASSISTANT COMMUNITY MANAGER
• Rec Area Use with Kayaks/Canoes/Boats
• Pool Opening
Rec Area Use with Kayaks/Canoes/Boats:
Starting May 1st, the racks are available for use. Boats, this includes kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards (SUP), paddleboats, inflatable boats, etc., must have a current LHPOA sticker to be on our rec areas. This includes the storage racks and on the water itself. If canoes or kayaks are on the racks after May 1st without current stickers, they will be removed and locked in the maintenance area until you can arrange to pick them up.
The mooring cleats/rings that are on the rec areas are first come/first serve. This means that if you take your boat out for a spin, someone else may park in the spot you vacated. You cannot “hold” your spot with ropes, bumpers, etc. If we find this is happening, we will instruct Security to remove the items for storage in the maintenance area until you can arrange to pick them up.
For those that leave their paddleboats moored in the rec areas because they are not allowed to be stored on the canoe racks, please lend a hand to your neighbors that use the rec areas and place your paddleboat farther back in the cove where it is shallower. The paddleboats can navigate the shallower and narrower waters better than some other boats can.

Pool Updates
The pool opened on Saturday, May 26th and Jennefer reported the
opening was great without anything significant issues!
When you come to the pool this summer, you will notice a few changes. The biggest one being the new furniture! Folks coming to the pool this weekend, were happy with the new seating available. The other big change was the snack shack menu. There are now a few healthier choices along with the tried and true favorites. You can find, apple sauce, granola bars, veggie straws, frozen juice bars, 100% fruit juices and G2 Gatorades (lower in sugar than normal Gatorade).
Additional big news to report is the pool is fully staffed! We received a lot of last minute applicants who scrambled to get certified! Over the weekend a few were getting certified, so the staffing was tight but by Memorial Day it was completely staffed. Please welcome our new staff and say welcome back to the returning guards from last year, when you come to the pool this summer.

It’s that time of year when boating activity quickly increases on the lake.
I wanted to bring to your attention boating violations that we see most often. Remember, you must travel in a counter-clockwise direction around the lake. The area between the shoreline and buoys 100’ off the shoreline is a “No Wake Zone” as are all our coves. Paddleboarders are required to have a “Readily Accessible” PFD (personal floatation device). Children 12 and under are required to wear a PFD whether on a boat, kayak or tube, as are ALL persons being towed (ski or tube). Speaking of tubes, the maximum number of people allowed in a tube while being towed is TWO. When the strobe light at the dam comes on at dusk, the entire lake becomes a No Wake Zone and running lights must be used. Remember that sailboats and boats propelled by hand or foot have the Right of Way over motor boats. Any watercraft (boat, kayak, paddleboard etc.) must have a current LHPOA sticker if it is in the lake or on Association property. Our Security staff is tasked with enforcing the boating Rules and Regulations and violations can result in fines. Enforcement is done both from our patrol boat as well as shoreline observations. The safety of all who use the lake is our top priority. Please see your Rules and Regulations for all boating, skiing and safety requirements and have a safe and enjoyable boating season!
Respectfully Submitted,
Dan Tapper
LHPOA Chief of Security Operations

LAKE HERITAGE HISTORY: Are you interested in history? Do you live in Lake Heritage? Here is your chance to read Our Lake Our Heritage Our History: The Story of Lake Heritage on Its 50th Anniversary.
This 160-page book was written and published by the 50th Anniversary Committee. This book breaks down the development of Lake Heritage from a Massachusetts’s real estate developer’s vision of an aqua-centric, rest and relaxation, vacation home community built on the shores of a man-made lake to a thriving year-round community within easy reach of major arteries connecting Gettysburg with Baltimore, Washington, and Harrisburg. You will not find a better synthesis of Lake Heritage trivia, trials, tribulations and triumphs than what can be found in this book. It’s written in an easy to read format and breaks down the lake’s history into decades and years.
As a supplement to the book, a DVD is also available!

REMINDER: WHEN THE DAM LIGHT IS ON – NO WAKE NOR A SPEED OF MORE THAN 5 MPH
Safety & Security Operations Committee
The Security Committee normally meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 1 p.m. in the small meeting room of the Community Center. However, the next Security Committee meeting is June 21st due to a scheduling conflict.
The current members of the Security Committee are:
• Ron Brown, BOD member & Committee Chair,
• Bill Chantelau, Committee Secretary
• Dan Tapper, Chief of Safety & Security Operations
• Mike Hanson, Community Manager
• Stephanie Ecker, Assistant Community Manager
• Ed Kushner, member
• Fred Schenker, member
• Tom Cipolli, member
• Maureen Follmer, member
The committee is always looking at speed reduction/calming methods and devices. There is a lot of traffic on our roadways but more so when the weather is nice. We have all ages driving, walking, riding and jogging. To make more people aware of their speed while driving, radar checks have been switched up a little bit. Patrol is doing radar checks at times that they would not normally be able to because of the purchase of a new camera to replace the old one that was getting quirky. Patrol can now do radar checks in low light conditions. We are also looking at various speed calming devices and more information is to come.
Dan Tapper planned a kid’s bicycle safety rodeo. The event allowed the kids to ride a course to test their skills while learning about bicycle safety, correct helmet fit, and correct bicycle fit. When the kids were finished running the course, they were able to visit with Trooper Myers, climb in his cruiser, turn on sirens/lights, and learn about the equipment he uses to do his job of protecting the community. Take a look at the picture from the event on page 15 and the video on the website.
To assist our Patrol staff and emergency responders, please have your house number displayed prominently as viewed from the street. Please make sure it is also well lit at night. As you may have noticed, the house numbers in this community are not always sequential. This is because they are the original lot numbers and are not by street as you would find in other communities. You can also obtain a green reflective directional sign that can be mounted on your mailbox. For information on how to purchase this sign from the Gettysburg Fire Department, download the form from our website or stop in the office.
Our monthly meeting covers various safety and security topics besides a few of the above. If you have a background in this area or would just like to contribute to your community, please contact a member of the Security Committee.

Pool News
Summer Season is just around the corner, and we all know what that means, the LHPOA Pool will be up and running in short order. If you have not heard by now, I would like to introduce the new Pool manager Jennefer Gallagher. Jennefer is a great addition to the LHPOA staff and she has some great ideas to aid in your summer activities and
enjoyment. Please say hello to her and many of the returning
lifeguards that are there for your safety and fun.
We are excited to inform you the pool have some new additions for your enjoyment. First of all, new furniture will allow you to relax in comfort and you will also have more shade provided by new umbrellas. Then as you are taking a break from the cool water on a hot day, you will be happy to know that there is now free Wi-Fi at the LHPOA pool and it offers members an easy, free, Internet connection. No password or login is required at this time. Also, this summer the pool has purchased some added games for the kids to provide a break from the heat, or when it rains. There is an assortment of games to play. Everything from board games, card games, cornhole, table tennis, and ring toss. So, come down to the pool to watch the kids play, conduct some business, grab some goodies at the Geedunk, and then jump in to cool down with a refreshing dip.
As the new Pool Committee chair, I’m asking residents interested in working on a pool committee to contact me at 316-680-8202. There has not been a pool committee in the past and I’m looking to see if there is a need to form one to better suit the community. So, with that, we will see you at the pool and have some relaxing fun throughout the summer heat.
Stanton Braun, Pool Committee Chair LHPOA Board of Directors

New Playground to be Installed at The Point
At the May meeting, the Board approved the purchase and installation of new playground equipment for The Point. The cost of the purchase was included in the annual budget approved previously by the Board.
Over the past several months, Board members visited various playgrounds in the area and reached out to two representatives of companies producing playground equipment. The approved proposal is for two structures, one for 2-5 year olds, and another for 5-12 year olds. Both will be installed in the same area at The Point now occupied by the old structure. The new equipment is commercial grade and meets Federal consumer product safety standards. The maintenance department will remove all of the structures currently at The Point and ready the area for professional installation. The sand base will remain around the new playground. It is planned for the installation to be completed in early July.
The current playground at The Point was installed approximately twelve years ago. The equipment was donated by a family and is backyard quality. Although enjoyed by scores of Lake kids, the current playground has outlived its usefulness. Soon the kids will have a new playground!

Christmas Garland
Lake Heritage needs new Christmas garland for the front gate. The Women’s Club is asking the community to help pay for the garland. It will be pre-lit, commercial grade with a 25-year guarantee. The cost will be approximately $2,300.00. Please consider making a donation for this cause. Checks should be made out to Lake Heritage Women’s Club. with the word, “Garland” in the memo line. You can drop the check off, place in drop box, or mail it to the office. Thank you for your help.

In addition to the boat operator, a competent observer must be in the boat in a position to observe the progress of the person being towed. A competent observer is a person who has the ability to assess when a skier is in trouble, knows and understands the water skiing hand signals, and is capable of helping a skier. In addition, a competent observer must be at least 9 years of age. (Operational)

If dropping a ski, the skier should cut to the right of the boat (toward the shoreline) and drop the ski at approximately 100 feet from the shoreline (i.e. in line with the buoys). The patrol boat operator is authorized to pick up skis found in the main traffic pattern and issue a violation notice to the operator of the boat involved. (Operational)
2. Skiing within coves or inlets, picking-up or dropping-off skiers within 100 feet from any shoreline, dock or swimmer is prohibited. (Operational)
3. Skiers and all towed persons shall not come closer than 100 feet to any shore or dock while under power in the main part of the lake; i.e. south of the fishing pier.

Boat operator must observe the 100-foot rule at all times. (Operational)
4. The boat owner is responsible for the conduct and actions of the skiers and towed persons.

LAKE HEALTH TIPS, HOMEOWNERS CAN HELP: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
When it rains, where does the water go? Straight into the lake! How does this rush of fast moving water impact our environment and more importantly, our lake? Not as great as you may think! How can you help mother nature balance out the water and nutrients to be where they should be for an optimal ecosystem?
Stop in the office to pick up a booklet on storm water management by PA Department of Environmental Protection. It covers why you should manage the storm water and how you can do so. It covers simple methods that help, such as rain barrels, rain gardens, pervious pavers/asphalt, and dry wells. The booklet is available for free, so you can learn how to use simple techniques on your property that have a big impact on the environment and the health of the lake!
Available in the office Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm. If you cannot get to the office during regular hours, send an email to admin@lakeheritage.org and request a copy. We can reply with the PDF version.

18th ANNUAL EMERSON-GREENHOLT FAMILY FISHING MARATHON
We are not having much luck with the weather for the Emerson-Greenholt Fishing Marathon. A day or two prior to our fishing date, the weather was in the high eighties. On May 5th, the day of our fishing marathon, the temperature started out in the low seventies, wind and a little rain came in dropping the temperature to the low sixties making the air feel like it was in the forties.
Again this year, the numbers were low. We had a total of 33 anglers, of which 22 were kids. They managed to bring to the weigh station 74 pounds of white perch. Per our sampling, it took five fish to make a pound – the fish were small this year. At five per pound, that equals to about 370 fish that were caught. The top three families were the Geesaman family (28 pounds), the Nester family (20 pounds), and the Gary family (10 pounds). The Fishing Club paid $37.00 to the anglers for their day of work (if you call fishing work). Not only were the kids paid, but each of them was presented a medallion that was paid for by the Lake and Dam Committee.
I would like to thank Bob Hood for helping with the weighing, paying the anglers and presenting the kids with medallions. I would like to thank our maintenance staff for disposing of the fish. Thanks go out to Tom Gary for providing the fishing prop for the pictures. I would like to thank all the families, especially the kids that participated in the marathon.
I have had a few comments that we might get a better turn out if we held the event on Sunday. If you have an opinion about Sunday, please let me know. You can call me at 717-334-4167 or email eclev020945@embarqmail.com. Thanks, and hope to see you next year!

CREATIVITY CLUB
Greetings from the Creativity Club! For our May meeting/activity, Mindy Simonsen was our guest artist and we all painted wineglasses. Thank you, Mindy! As seen in the pictures, everyone did a great job with some amazing pieces. Also, congratulations to Mindy on her recent engagement to Aaron. A lot of the folks who painted wineglasses were also present 10 days later when Aaron proposed on Mindy’s birthday – a major surprise and wonderful moment to witness.
For our June 12th meeting, we’ll be having Basket Night, beginning at 6:30 PM with Sociable Set-Up and the meeting/activity beginning at 7:00 PM, at the Community Center. Our activity leader will be Samantha Richards (Sam). Sam will show us all how to make a basket similar to the one pictured. Sam will have a number of baskets already started to make it easier for everyone to finish a basket. Attendees will also have an opportunity to win a basket.
We are still deciding what activity we should do for our July 12 meeting – send me any ideas you may have – we will make a final decision at the June meeting. Also, we would love to hear from anyone in the Community who has a creative interest or skill that you would like to share with the Lake Community as a guest speaker or activity leader. Please check our Creativity Club page on Facebook for the latest information on Club activities and for additional pictures of events.
We hope to see you in the future – send me a note at bpaul57@gmail.com to reserve a spot for Basket Night, to join the Club, to provide suggestions on future activities, or for more information about the Creativity Club.
Cheers! Brian Sears

TAILS FROM THE FISHING CLUB
Attendees totaling 53, including two new members and nine guests, made their way to the Fishing Club meeting on Friday, May 11th. The meeting was called to order by President Steve Oakes at 6:30 p.m. and thanked members for hosting the evening’s festivities: Lorraine & Art Edwards, Elaine & Len Ferrara, Phyllis & Brian French, and Charlotte & Tom Gary. The theme for the evening was “Celebrating Mothers!” in anticipation of celebrating Mother’s Day two days later. The Community Center’s Banquet Room was festively decorated with bouquets of beautiful spring flowers which were rather sparse at the April meeting due to cooler than normal temperatures.
Treasurer Bob Gough provided his monthly financial report, with the treasury balance totaling $10250 on April 30th with $1,373 set aside for the Veterans and Friends Initiative – leaving a balance of $8877 for club expenditures. Bob’s report was accepted by the membership. Since Secretary Dave Moulton’s minutes from the April meeting were included in the May LH Newsletter, he noted two brief items relevant only to club members and his minutes were accepted as reported in the LH Newsletter and during the meeting.
In partnership with the Women’s Club, Linda Griffin, Head of the Scholarship Committee, welcomed two of the scholarship award recipients, Nicholas Wallace and Samantha Rudisill, who were accompanied by family members. Nicholas is graduating from Gettysburg High School and will attend Gettysburg College this fall majoring in Physics. Samantha is graduating from Littlestown High School and will attend Virginia Tech this fall majoring in International Studies. Both recipients were presented Scholarship Certificates and associated checks will be forwarded to their schools at a later date. Due to a conflict, a third scholarship recipient, Joseph Pecaitis, was unable to attend the May meeting. He is graduating from Gettysburg High School and this fall will attend Penn State with a major in Mechanical Engineering. He will most likely be presented his certificate at the June meeting and associated checks will be forwarded to Penn State at a later date.
Ernie Clevinger informed members that the Emerson-Greenholt Family Fishing Tournament was held on May 5th between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Weather-wise, conditions were not ideal for such a typically enjoyable family event. Suffice it to say, however, the tournament was completed without any other issues. A total of 33 anglers participated, 370 white perch (74 pounds) were reeled in, and $37 was paid out and medallions presented to children.
The next road clean-up, with Ila and Matt Verdirame leading the project, will take place on June 2nd (Saturday). Individuals interested in participating in the clean-up should meet near the gatehouse at 8:15 a.m.
Phyllis French informed members that additional contributions have been made toward the purchase of replacement garlands near the entrance to Lake Heritage around the holidays. Residents should see details posted in the newsletter or on the lake’s website to submit a contribution.
Steve mentioned the next Fishing Club meeting is scheduled for June 8th and hosting will be Sandy & Greg Howe, Don Moul & Paulette Smith, Scotty & Judy Watt, and Gloria Wholey.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Steve Oakes, Club President

LH WOMEN’S CLUB
The Women’s Club was delighted with the speaker this month. Jackie White gave us an historical account of Fantasyland. The park was owned and operated by her parents from 1959 to 1980. Many members remembered the park and added their own stories.
Some of the topics during old business included the May 5th plant sale, Shady Grove landscape improvement, the very successful blood drive, our visit to the Highland School followed by lunch at a Tea Room in Chambersburg, and new Christmas garland for the front gate. Payment for the garland is being funded by community clubs and private donations. The cost is over $2000.00, and donations have reached $1,060.00.
Under new business topics Betsy Meyer discussed native plants that can be used in swales to trap debris and help clean up chemicals before they enter the lake. Agnes Reuter reported on the preparations for the annual pancake breakfast held on July 4. She asked for volunteers to help.
The meeting adjourned at 11:30am.
To new residents in Lake Heritage, the Women’s Club meets the second Tuesday of every month at 9:30 a.m. in the Community Center. Every month there is a guest speaker followed by a business meeting. Besides raising money for various causes, we also take trips to a variety of places. Every month there’s something new. Check us out if you can.
